Research on the Path of High Quality Development of the Yellow River Basin Driven by Digital Economy——Dynamic QCA Analysis Based on TOE Framework
Taking 9 provinces and regions in the Yellow River Basin as research samples,using the TOE theoretical framework and dynamic summary fsQCA method,and inter-provincial data from 2011 to 2020,this paper explores digital infrastructure,digital technology applications,digital organizational innovation,digital organizational capabilities,and government digital policies,and the synergistic effect of the six antecedent conditions of regional digital finance on the high-quality development of the Yellow River Basin.The study finds that none of the six antecedent conditions are necessary conditions for high/non-high regional quality development.Two configurations of"policy-innovation"and"organization-environment"drive high-quality development in the Yellow River Basin.The driving path for high-quality development in the Yellow River Basin has multiple trajectory evolution phenomena.Accordingly,the nine provinces in the Yellow River Basin should combine the regional digital resource endowment to formulate differentiated regional high-quality development strategies in stages,attach great importance to the effectiveness of digital innovation to stimulate new business forms,new models and new service so as to promote regional innovation-driven development.
